I know it's not Tarantula related, but thought it would interest others here.

The edited story is below, together with a link to the full story.

An 8ft (2.44m) reticulated python was discovered near the Orwell Bridge, near Ipswich, on Monday.

RSPCA inspector Jason Finch said no "obvious health issues or injuries" could account for the reptile's death.

"At this stage we do not know if the snake was dead when it was dumped at this location or if it had been abandoned and perished in the elements."

The charity said it was "unlikely" that it was an escapee as the location it was found in was relatively remote.
"Unfortunately, this sort of thing isn't unusual and we receive thousands of calls a year relating to reptiles, like snakes and lizards, many of which have been abandoned by their owners," said Mr Finch.

"Snakes often end up in our care when owners realise the commitment that is involved in meeting their needs and keeping them healthy."

The Orwell Bridge was used as a backdrop for an AA advert a few years ago.
